Explain how to divide 3/4 ÷ 3/8 by using reciprocal of 3/8​

Mathematics
1 answer:

5 0

The reciprocal of 3/8 would be 8/3 (basically reversing the numbers).

When dividing fractions, you can just multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction instead of dividing by the second fraction.

3/4 ÷ 3/8

= 3/4 × 8/3

Simplifying gives us the final answer:

= 2

BartSMP [9]

Let the maximum number of pages Jennifer can have be = x

Amount Jennifer has (P) = $62.10

Given equation is :

P = (20+0.5x)+0.15(20+0.5x)

Price is given = 62.10 , so equation is :

62.10=(20+0.5x)+0.15(20+0.5x)

62.10=20+0.5x+3+0.075x

62.10=23+0.575x

0.575x=39.10

x=68

Hence, Jennifer can have a maximum of 68 pages in her book.

Which values for A and B will create infinitely many solutions for this system of equations? Ax-y=8 2x+y=B plss hurry im being t
Lynna [10]

Answer:

A=-2

B=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the system of linear equations to have infinitely many solution, they must be the same equation.

Ax-y=8

2x+y=B

We need to choose A and B so they are the same equation.

I notice they are both in the same form but in the second column you have opposites;

the -y and y.

So im going to multiply either equation by -1 so that part is exactly the same.

Don't choose both; choose only one.

Let's multiply the first equation by -1.

Doing this gives us the following:

-Ax+y=-8

2x+y=B

So now we can choose A and B so these equations appear exactly the same.

We need -A=2 and B=-8.

-A=2 implies A=(opposite of 2) which is -2.

Conclusion:

A=-2

B=-8
